Syftet med den här studien är att analysera daghemsföreståndares beskrivningar av vad det pedagogiska ledarskapet inbegriper och hur det genomförs inom småbarnspedagogiken i Svenskfinland. Studien utgår från en kvalitativ metod med ett abduktivt förhållningssätt. Den empiriska datainsamlingen består av semistrukturerade intervjuer, vilka har genomförts med 13 respondenter. Studiens teoretiska ramverk bygger på teorin om praktikarkitektur (Kemmis & Grootenboer, 2008) och dataanalysen har skett genom innehållsanalys. Vidare har begreppen sägs, görs och relateras, utifrån teorin om praktikarkitektur, använts i analysen (Rönnerman, 2018). I resultaten framträder tre teman som essentiella i det pedagogiska ledarskapet. Temaområdena är: att vägleda personalen, att leda den pedagogiska verksamheten samt att skapa helhetsmässiga ramar för organisationen. Resultaten beskrivs i termer av vad som sägs om pedagogiskt ledarskap, hur pedagogiskt ledarskap görs och hur pedagogiskt ledarskap relateras. De visar att balansen mellan att skapa visioner och mål för verksamheten samt att vara lyhörd för personalen och barngruppen är framträdande. ENGLISH ABSTRACT Pedagogical Leadership for the Staff, the Activities and the Organisation – a Practice-based Study with ECE Centre Directors The aim of the study is to analyze ECE directors’ descriptions of what pedagogical leadership entails and how it is carried out in ECE in Swedish-speaking parts of Finland. The study is based on a qualitative method with an abductive approach. The empirical data collection consists of semi-structured interviews, which have been conducted with 13 respondents. The study’s theoretical framework is based on the theory of practice architecture (Kemmis & Grootenboer, 2008). The data analysis has taken place through content analysis. Furthermore, the concepts said, done and related, based on the theory of practice architecture, have been used in the analysis (Rönnerman, 2018). In the results, three themes emerge as essential in pedagogical leadership. The themes are: to coach the staff, to lead the pedagogical activities and to create holistic frameworks. The results are described in terms of what is said about pedagogical leadership, how pedagogical leadership is done and how pedagogical leadership is related. They show that the balance between creating visions and goals for the operation and being responsive to the staff and the children is essential.
